Dev League Season 8 (Sign Up Here!)

Regarding Dev League Season 8. I won't say when it will begin, but I will start the preparations from now so as to be settled by the time it does.
With that in mind, two questions and a request...

What do you folks think the new expansion team's colour should be?
Should teams be affiliated in some form so that players may be freely transferred in case of excessive callups or injury?

The request...

I'll be needing some help with next season's goingson. Not with actually simming matches, as Reuben would help with that if necessary, but rather with stats tracking. Anyone willing? Apply within.

Reds would be St. Helens, obviously, because we're the best
Blacks would be Cleethorpes in honour of their leader, Neil Pickup
Green would be Carlisle for no reason at all
Blue would be Leeds because nobody likes them
And the new team could be whoever they wanted
